Didn't get to do finish my morning figure sketch yesterday, so this one will have to suffice as a 2 day one. There's no rules so no worries really!
At least it's a bit of a different one, stretching to the max!
Catch you all later!

Digital Painting Practice
Second post of the day!
Decided to do some digital painting practice on a sketch I did a while back.
I wasn't at all sure what the end result would be but as I got the flats down (base colours) I decided that maybe less was more with the goal, so I concentrated more on getting some smooth gradients for the skin with the Airbrush and nice bold colours for the secondary elements of the hair and headphones.
Enjoy your evening!

Good Afternoon Webheads,
I'm a little late (again) with todays sketch, been a busy day!
Plus I noodled around with it for a while playing with backgrounds until I decided just to post the original sketch with a rectangular backer.
Hopefully I'll get this digital painting I've just started finished by the end of the day.
Catch you later (hopefully)!

Morning Figure Sketch 2016 - 02
Good Afternoon Webheads!
Bit of a late one today, but I did the actual sketch this morning, promise!
After finishing the sketch I came up with the idea to have him flying past the Moon (or at least a Moon shape), and that in turn led to the idea, and execution of me painting over all the shadows I'd just hatched with all reflected Moon light, but I like how it turned out!
Right, I'm off for more artistic adventures,
I bid a good day t'all!

Morning Figure Sketching 2016 - 01
Good Morning Interwebbers!
I'm going to make more of an effort this year to improve on figure drawing, so will be posting various sketches as and when they are done. the aim is to do one every morning before work, when possible.
These sketches will be loose, with the focus not on a finished image with great rendering, but on improving at drawing proportions, lighting and silhouettes, and gaining speed through practice.
If I can do an hours drawing from reference, an hour from imagination, and an hour on the comic book project a day I'll be happy!
Within the figure drawing I want to cover - stationary poses that don't look static or wooden, dynamic poses, foreshortening, cloth and clothing and generally head and body anatomy at different angles.
Below is this mornings sketch!

Airbrush Practice
Hi Peeps and Peepettes!
So I've been testing out the new Huion monitor in pretty much all of my spare time, and it's great!
Today's post is a practice session work in progress, learning to use Sketchbook Pro and more specifically the airbrush tool within the program, just getting a feel for drawing and painting on a screen and generally having fun with it all!
Happy Sunday all!

New Year, New Equipment!
Happy New Year! (Bit late, but still...)
I haven't posted for so long!
I've had a break from art in general for quite some time, but that's not always a bad thing. It can give you time to catch up on other things, art can take up a lot of time and it's very easy to become a hermit with a bad back if you don't step away once in a while a do something different.
Anyhow, I've just purchased, after years of wanting one, a tablet monitor for art, and am at this time just trying it out for the first time!
As with many others I couldn't afford, or justify the expense that is a Wacom Cintiq (for those who don't know, its the top of the range, industry standard brand) but instead after much research decide on the Huion GT-220. From what I've read once you get it up and running it's a very good machine for the price. I will give some thoughts on the monitor itself once I've spent more time using it, for now its a very nicely built screen, with a few design flaws but nothing that's a deal breaker (I knew about the flaws before buying).
Expect many posts in the forthcoming weeks, as I'm loving it so far!
I will update when possible, the pen is currently charging... wish me luck....
Happy Monday!
